Sup, /o/? I'm liking for some guidance on a new car. I've

Forester is literally the only car that will give you what you want so this thread was done before it started.

4runners will do everything you want but they are thirsty fuckers, you will be lucky to get 20mpg combined with the newer v8 models.

>>15987375
Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought, but I was thinking maybe somebody would have a comparable set of wheels that might be a better deal.

How long distance wise is the commute?

>>15987331
ive driven forester, land cruiser v8 and outback.
my forester has 250,000km and going stronk, dependable.
fuel economy on the forester or outback will be the best out of these. ive driven it on mountains in australia during winter, not as rough as american winters only barely got to -2'C but there was snow and ice on the roads and it was capable. not sure about any offroading but ive driven it on sand/beaches no problems.
spacious for camping even if you want to sleep in it.

Oddball suggestion: Delica

I looking at similar classes of vehicle myself. I was leaning outback more than forester. Same interior space, but it's long in the outback, better for sleeping inside.

I can't offer you anything with that mpg requirement and awd or 4x4 capability. I dont even a subaru impreza get that kind of gas mileage.

if you want a small truck check out the new Chevy Colorado

I own a 2016 Tacoma and I've loved every minute of it. Fits pretty much all your wants except fuel economy. I've got the v6 and I get about 24-26 emmpeegees.

Alternatively a 4runner is also a very good vehicle, kind of like a jeep for grown ups.

What these guys said.

You'll never get a fully capable AWD/4WD system and decent gas mileage. If Oregon winters are like Michigan winters, you may be missing some work or end up in a ditch. It's hard to beat a conventional 4wd system. I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I am not impressed with Subaru's AWD system. It That being said, I will admit it is a decent balance between 2wd and 4wd, and they make great vehicles. But the lack of snowplows and random dumps of 12"+ of snow overnight pretty much require something with more umph.

If you don't mind buying used in that category, also consider the Ford Escape. Mine got about 31 MPG with the V6 and had AWD. Also consider just owning two shitboxs like sane people do; one for commuting and one for weekend adventure.

>Source: Owned a 97 Legacy, 01 Outback, 06 Escape, and a fuckload of other SUVs and Trucks.

That is literally the only reason I'm considering the Outback over the Forester. My buddy lent me his Forester for a twelve hour trip, and on the way back my girlfriend and I took turns napping in the back, but it was just a little too cramped for me, being that I'm 6'2".

42 miles each way. Ten of that is city, the rest highway at 72mph.

Confirmed, just bought an 05 4runner 2 weeks ago. Alittle bit thirsty in the fuel department anywhere from 17 to 23mpg ... but far less maintnance concern than my 2x Diesel Jeeps.

Also .. that ride... waaaay smoother than my CRD Libertys.

>I've grown out of the Jeep lifestyle
What is the Jeep lifestyle?

It's definitely not a 42 miles commute each way, OP is fag.

Well, when I lived ten minutes from work and lived in an apartment and had the free time to go wheeling every weekend and had no dogs, it was an easy machine to justify ownership of. I could go on evening cruises through the countryside with the top down and the doors off without thinking about fuel because all I had was a cheapo apartment and no other bills to think about.

Now, house, doges, farther from work, doing side work in my garage, fixing up yard and house. I'm almost thirty now, and life is just different from when I bought it. I never was concerned about fuel, safety, or practicality. Now I am.
